Assessing Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal community composition and diversity across a land-use gradient in Eastern Washington prairies
<p>Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are key to healthy, functioning terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Associating with over 80% of all extant land plants, they play a pivotal role in nutrient cycling, and contribute to overall plant health. Given their significance to terrestrial ecosystems, AMF …
